"Fifty-two years! Fifty-two years!" That is how long it has been since we won in Lincoln. Back then we had a man's man coach, and now we have a man's man QB. McGee ran the ball a record 35 times for 167 yards. The previous record was 27 (1977, David Walker). J Train had a similar super man-like game against Fresno State, so believe him when he tells you "it takes a lot of man to do that." The effort left McGee limping and in need of two post-game IVs. Calling number seven 35 times is "probably not exactly" what Fran wants, but McGee doesn't care, "whatever [Fran] calls I want to run it to the best best of my abilities." This kid might not be on a Heisman short list, but I would take him over any other QB in the country. I am really looking forward to him coaching us in about 25 years.
